Making progress

The first module of the Focus Four safety curriculum and booklet has been submitted to OSHA for review. This first section focuses on electrical hazards on the masonry jobsite. Additional modules are being developed to address Struck by/Caught between, and Falls/Scaffolding. The entire curriculum and booklet are slated for completion and translation into Spanish by early 2009. The Focus Four Safety Program will be presented for free to all masons and hod carriers across Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho in Spring & Summer of 2009. The Focus Four Safety Program is made possible through a $250,000 grant from OSHA’s Susan Harwood Foundation.
